The Role of Critical Sets in Vapnik-Chervonenkis Theory
In the present paper, we present the theoretical basis, as well as an empirical validation, of a protocol designed to obtain effective VC dimension estimations in the case of a si...

Performance Guarantees for Regularized Maximum Entropy Density Estimation
Abstract. We consider the problem of estimating an unknown probability distribution from samples using the principle of maximum entropy (maxent). To alleviate overfitting with a v...

Learning Coherent Concepts
We develop a theory for learning scenarios where multiple learners co-exist but there are mutual compatibility constraints on their outcomes. This is natural in cognitive learning...

Smart PAC-learners
The PAC-learning model is distribution-independent in the sense that the learner must reach a learning goal with a limited number of labeled random examples without any prior know...

Testing k-wise and almost k-wise independence
In this work, we consider the problems of testing whether a distribution over {0, 1}n is k-wise (resp. ( , k)-wise) independent using samples drawn from that distribution. For the...
